This is the first time i have seen that a bunch of Norwegians almost the majority behind any American movie sequel ever.

All of these actors is Norwegians.

It is amazing! Well they'll be Vikings as they'll include them invading Britannia! I wonder how the rumored teenage Draco would fit into this!!!
shareHard to tell. I didn't know it was a movie with vikings thou.
They still usually only use american/english actors in those movies.
I would probably have skipped this movie if it wasn't for the director and casting.
Well the producer is Italian and she said there were a bit of everything in this movie. The first and second movie had mostly Slovakian or Czech extras involved besides American and British actors. And the only time Asians were included were two principals from the second movie(Henry O and Rona Figueroa). And half Hindi in the third with Ben Kingsley in the cast and his dragon will return for the fourth along with Romanian extras.
shareSounds like they were always mostly european movies then.
I'm sure the director was hired because of Hellfjord.
The director have earlier directed the international popular Norwegian black comedy series "Hellfjord". I have seen New Zealand, Germans etc. that gave it 10/10 in reviews.
Shows how good the subtitles were.

I recently re-watched Hellfjord with English subs just to see how all were translated.
Only minor things were missing on translation, but didn't affect the series anyway for foreigners.
There are no real american manly actors anymore, mostly feminine metrosexuals. Small Wonder they need European actors to portray the bad guys.
